Is there a difference between Photoshop and Photoshop academic edition? There is a considerable price difference. I know you must have to be a student (which isnt a problem) but, does is lack something?
Thanks!

Originally New Bedford, MA More info | Jan 27, 2006 14:03 | #3 i believe the only difference is in the licensing, which for all intents and purposes is pretty much a technicality. i think it has to be used for non-commercial purposes and the fact that the student who purchases it doesn't technically own the license for the software, but that's nothing to really worry about anyway.

Does this mean that one wouldn't be able to upgrade to future versions at a discounted cost? Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.

No problem. Julio

And built into the overall pricing across the board. Its about bonding people into their customer base and ensuring future revenue. That is the real key to company success - outside of a great product. http://www.barbsmithphotography.com

If you are the licensed/registered owner (as in "you personally have registered it with Adobe"), you can upgrade. If you had bought the software second hand from an original registered owner, you will have to have the license/registration transfered to you. See the link below. Megapixels and high ISO are a digital photographers heroin. Once you have a little, you just want more and more. It doesn't stop until your bank account is run dry.
